Last year after watching some of Celebrity Banisteor (only watched it coz Baz was in it ) I was thinking there should be a Celebrity Gaffer show.
Get some of the junior clubs in the country coached by some Celebs.
Totally off topic, sorry!
Don't watch it, really looked forward to the show at the start. Prem, 1st Div, didn't care who was on as long as it gave the league exposure.I just think the show is poor. Pity we don't get the adverts or the coverage that Celebrity Banisteor gets. National broadcaster me asre. !!!!!!

How so LR?
I know I might be a bit biased but, comparing my video with that of RTE's for the cup game last year against Dundalk (which I have here), they're about the same. I'd say mine is better, but, as I said, I'm a bits biased.
Maybe you're talking in terms of picture quality. If so, well, of course. There's a difference between my year and a half old, €600 camera and their €45,000 cameras. Also, it's gets compressed to **** when I put it on the web.
If you're talking in terms of camera work, I'd completely disagree with you. I'd say that mine, in the case of the Dundalk match is better.
I would like to see a 1st Division round-up at the end of the show, like the way they do League 1 and 2 on ITV's 'The Championship.'
However, we just have to face the facts. This means that RTE have to send 6 more camera crews around the country each weekend. More staff might have to be hired, or else existing ones might have to be paid overtime + expenses to do it. Even if the FAI co-operated fully to try and make this possible by, for example, having all PD games on Friday and all FD games on Saturday, therefore allowing the same crews to do 2 games per weekend, I still doubt it'd be a runner.
Ah, no worries LR. Hopefully that will become a non issue for me over the next few months anyway.
not as off topic as you might think MM - cracking idea. Why not get the First Div clubs to be run by celebrities instead of managers. Do an hour long show on the build up and equal mix of glamour and tension associated with the games. Its time to put a bit of a twist on the whole First Div saga...
Monaghan Maulers managed by Barry McGuigan
UCD Scholars managed by Joe Duffy
Shelbourne Villains managed by Bertie Ahern
Longford Lionesses managed by Albert Reynolds (Shels Longford - oooh spicy!)
Mervue Meerkats managed by Traci Bingham (hey why not? id go see em)
Luscious Limerick managed by Francie Barrett
and so on...
Time is now RTE - if you dont do it, then TV3 will.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
The name's Shelbourne and Bertie Ahern will only appear in print together over my dead body. I'd do a maxi if anyone even attempted that. I'd rather that fat ***** Derek Davis tbh.
I'm eyeing up a new High Def camera once I start earning an income. Over kill, probably, but I wants any way.

I've been working on getting the RTE one off DVD I have it on, but it's being awkward. It should be done at some stage over the next few days.
Could you not have chosen a better match jaf?
It really is top quality though in all fairness.
heard at the fans forum yesterday that the fai are in talks with RTE about having five minutes dedicated to the first division..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Absolutely to do with listenership but they didn't take the fact that when the moved to LW only, they stopped about 75% of their regulars from getting the programme into account!
It was also very interesting recently to hear the station split into two frequencies so that they could cover the Six Nations and the National Hurling League at the same time! Bet the GAA put the pressure on there so why can't the FAI do likewise!!!!
